Quantitative analysis of interactions between energy use and food production and the global balances of heat, greenhouse gases, and land ice and sea level, and information on the implications these interactions for use of non-fossil energy sources and the evolution of electric power grids. Those non-fossil energy sources include nuclear- and hydro-electric power generation. Also includes curating data sources and use of geographical information systems (GIS) to prepare for and present results of quantitative analyses.
